The Light at the End of the World: Skeeter Davis- The Essential Skeeter Davis (1958-73)



Straddling the line between country and girl-group-style pop (not unlike Connie Francis, at times), the great Skeeter Davis was never the prettiest gal, or the most talented singer.  But her girlish, sassily optimistic songs make her an angel for the ages.  Don't be a big asshole.  Listen to the lovely Skeeter.

This should convince you:



Sorry I had to get rough with my language... I don't think you're an asshole, I just want you to like my Skeeter.

SKEETER
